ANCIENT ANCHOR FOUND. Indicates Norsemen Navigated Inter lop Canadian Lakes. - Contractors ditching on the state experimental farm near Crookston, Minn., found a ship's anchor of an tique pattern buried at a depth of six feet in Bolid clay under sod that had never been broken. The anchor is similar to three used my Norsemen about nine centuries ago. The anchor, it Is surmised. Is a relic of a Norse exploration voynge during an era when the Red Kiver valley was a part of Lake Winnipeg and could be reached by sail from the Atlantic .' The Next Exposition. On June 1 ground wab broken for the Alaska-Yukon Exposition, which Is to be held in Seattle in 1909, open ing on June 1 of that year, and clos ing on October 15. Its object Is to celebrate the fortieth anniversary of the purchase of Alaska. That anni versary comes In 1907 Instead of In 1909, but nearness to the Lewis and Clark Exposition in Portland, Oregon, In 1905, and the lack of time for adequate preparation . compelled the selection of 1909 as the- date for the observance. The New York Chamber of Commerce, the oldest and by far the most important body of that sort In the United States, recently adopt ed resolutions commending the Alaska-Yukon Exposition, and urging the Legislature at Albany to make an ap propriation for the participation of the state of New York therein. Many of the stateB Pennsylvania, Missouri, Vtah, California, Washington and others had already made arrange ments to be represented at the expo sition, and others are expected to do so In the sessions of their Legis latures next winter. The exposition Js to cost $ 10.000,000, is to cover 250 acres of ground, and Is to have 12 ex hibit palaces. Leslie's Weekly. 28 New Fire Escape Device. Fire experts abroad are much Inter ested In a newly-Invented fire escape for buildings which is being brought out by a Vienna manufacturer . It consists of a series of folding Iron ladders, contained in frames, attached to the window casements, each reach ing to the window below. By merely turning a small winch on any floor nil these frames are pushed outward from the buildings, the ladders ex tended and securely connected with each other, thus forming a continuous communication from the top floor to the ground. The manipulation Is ex tremely simple -and occupies less thnn a minute. When not in use the es cape is barely visible and does not disfigure the facade of the building In the manner that the ardinnry outside Iron staircase does. A public test of the new escape, which Is the Inven tion of a Swiss engineer named Scherrer, proved highly successful, and the Vienna fire brigade represen tatives present expressed their entire approval of it Philadelphia Record. The Railroad Trespasser. At the recent national conference of Chflrlties and Correction at Minne apolis, Mr. O. F. Lewis of New York delivered on address In which he set forth certain striking facts concern ing railroad vagrancy, declaring: "More vagrants are killed every year on American railroads than the com bined totals of passengers and train men killed." He states that statis tics show that In the five years from 1901 to 1905 24.000 trespassers were killed on American railroads, 16,000 employes and only 2000 passengers. Mr. Lewis quoted from President Hill of the Great Northern road, who said that hundreds of Idle men infest empty cars on the Great Northern during the summer months, and seek to secrete themselves on every train at any risk. They get off trains while in motion, and -many suffer in life and limb. Others fall off when sleep. Shipping a Steel Mast. The feat of shipping a steel mast 138 feet long was recently accom plished by the Great Western Rail road of England. The mast was three feet In diameter and weighed 14 tons. The transportation was accomplish ed by loading the mast on seven cars, the great column being supported by bolsters on the second and fifth cars. The bolsters were 85 feet apart, and the mast was successfully transport ed from Liverpool to Plymouth. Con siderable difficulty was experienced In turning some of the sharper curves of the line, and traffic was Interrupted (or awhile at one or two points. COULDN'T KEEP IT Kept it Hid From the Children. "We cannot keep Grape-Nuts food In the house. It goes so fast I have to hldo it, because the children love It so. It is ju3t the food I have been looking for ever so long; something that I do not have 'to stop to prepare and still Is nourishing." Grape-Nuts is the most scientific ally made food on the market. It is perfectly and completely cooked at the factory and can be served at an Instant's notice, either with rich cold cream, or with hot milk if a hot dish Is desired. When milk or water is used, a little sugar should be added, bnt when cold cream is used alone the natural grape-sugar, which can be seen glistening on the granules, is sufficiently sweet to satisfy the pal ate. This grape-sugar'iis not poured over the granules, as some people think, but exudes from the granules in the process of manufacture, when the starch of the grains Is changed from starch to grape-sugar by the process of manufacture. This, in ef fect, is the first act of digestion; therefore, Grape-Nuts food is pre dlgested and is most perfectly as similated by the very weakest stom ach. "There's a Reason." Made at the pure food factories of tL Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich. Read the little health classic, "The Road to Wellrllle," in pkgs. Best Breed for Oxen. There are breeds of cattle which are more suitable as oxen than others, the principal of which may be men tioned, the Devons. They are fairly large, red in color, hardy and can thrive on pastures that will not keep some breeds. The cows do not rank high for dairy purposes, but as Devon cattle are active and quick, they have held the first place as animals for the yoke. Epitomlst. Clover Culture. On many farms there are low places of an acre or more which will not produce timothy or clover, and are really too wet to cultivate. These spots can be brought Into use by seeding with red-top and alsike clover. These grasses are better adapted to these moist soils than timothy, and they are valuable for hay. Fine crops of red-top will grow where timothy would kill out In two or three years. If the ground Is uneven or boggy, run a spading harrow or disk over It un til It Is brought 'down to fit condition for seeding. Then sow eight poundB of red-top and four pounds of alsike clover per acre. Indiana Farmer. Docking Lambs. The lamb Is docked when it is from 10 days to two weeks old. If left until older 'he blood vessels are better developed and there is a chance of the lamb's bleeding to death. At this stage the wound heals quickly, ani growth Is not Interrupted. The sim plest tool to use is a sharp, clean butcher knife. If an attendant can be had he holds the lamb in his arms, feet up. With one hand he holds the legs and with the other he draws the skin around the tail within one Inch of the body toward the body so that when the tall Is cut off the skin will slip back and partially cover the stub of the tall. The tail is cut off with the butcher knife while It lies on a small block of wood, and within 1 1-2 inches of the body. After docking, the lambs are close ly watched for an hour or two. Some times one bleeds more than he should and a string Is tied about the stub to stop the bleeding, after which the string 1b removed. Criterion. Black Locust. Black Locust is one of the most persistent deciduous trees that we have to produce itself from the roots, and hence it Is essential that one study this particular variety so as to know the right time to cut It if It Is to be killed at the root. Grubbing out the trees and cutting them down at different seasons of the year has been tried. If you want tho timber to last long In the ground locust should be cut in August or September, but If you desire to kill the trees they should be cut In July and then in Sep tember the stumps should be peeled. The next spring an occasional sprout will show from the roots. These will have to be treated the same as you would weeds to get rid of them. The black locust Is one of the best lasting post timbers we have and should be planted out on the prairie farms more than it is, for this one item of post timber. We do not think it will last equal to the osage orange, but it is equal to red cedar and can be pro duced on ground at a much lower price than we have to pay for posts at the lumber yard. partner's Tri bune. Age to Breed Heifers. Another step toward success In building up your dairy herd, do not breed any heifer until she is nearly or quite two years old. Let the heifer grow and make her body as large and her constitution as strong as she can be before the demands of motherhood and of a milk producer are placed upon her. I realize that there are those who will tell, us that the dairy qualities will be lost or injured by this delay. Nonsense! You have 'only to see the Injury that has been done by breed ing too young. You have only to no tice the weak, frail, undersized crea tures, in the average farmyard, that they call cows, and realize how easily these are subject to tuberculosis and every other ill that bovine flesh Is heir to, when the full Importance of my claim will appear. The leading, cause of all this trouble is breeding the heifers too young and the balance can be charged to in breeding. We need not make either mistake. Whichever dairy breed you select, do not inbreed, and do not bre any heifer under two years of age. Indiana Farmer. Good Dairy Cows. The Wisconsin Station dairy depart ment in a late bulletin says that the length of time the cow will maintain her maximum production depends on her constitutional strength and the care with which she is fed and man aged. A good dairy cow should not show any marked falling off until af ter ten years of age. Many excellent records have been made by cows older than this. The quality of the milk produced by belfers Is somewhat bet ter than that of older cows, for a de crease has been noted of one to two tenthj of 1 percent in the average fat content for each year until the sows have reached the full age. This Is caused by the Increase In the weight of the cows with advancing age. At any rate there seems to be a parallel between the two sets of figures for the Bame cows. Young animals use a portion of their food for the formation of body tissue, and It Is to be expect ed, therefore, that heifers will require a larger portion of nutrients for the production of milk or butter fat than do others cows. After a certain age has been reached on the average sev en years of age, the food required for the production of a unit of milk or butter fat again increases both as re gards dry matter and the digestible components of the food. A good milch cow of exceptional strength, kept un der favorable conditions, whose diges tive system has not been impaired by overfeeding 'or crowding for high re sults, should continue to be a profit able producer till her twelfth year, although the economy of her produc tion is apt to be somewhat reduced be fore this age is reached. Feeding Silage. I know silage is a good feed for horses, for I have tried it I have not, however, fed to any great extent be cause I did not have as much silage as 1 wanted for both cows and horses. I thought more of my cows than I did of my horses, so the cows had all they needed and the horses had to go short One winter we had a brood mare they was fed silage all winter, proba bly 20 pounds a day. She had some hay and straw to go with it and no eraln except what was in the silage, and she came out fat and with a glossy coat in the spring, and had a fine, healthy colt. Horses like silage as well as cottle do after they are ac customed to It. A man In Michigan a few years ago wintered 200 horses on silage and straw exclusively, with no grain. They came through in fine shape, and the brood mares all had fine, strong colts. The Ohio experiment station tried feeding horses on silage through the winter, and reported that they came through until spring lu the best of contdition. W. C. Bradley of Wisconsin says that one year during Bpring work he was out of hay, and the only coarse fodder his horses had during all that period of hard work was silage. He says that the horses never stood work better. C. E. McKerrow, in Spirit of the West Notes of the Farm. If you want big, fat sheep you must push the lambs from the start and continue feeding them to the finish. Unless fowls are provided with plenty of water during the early win ter they are liablo to contract disease. A flock of sheep will keep the wood pasture pretty well cleaned up, but they cannot live on weeds and brush. Sand is a good substitute for grit until the chicks are a week old; after that some coarser material must be provided. Bear in mind that rape pasture for a change Is more excellent for sheep as well as pigs. Grow a few acres and try It. Meat In some form Is necessary If the best development is to be secured, but feed It carefully the first two weeks, or you will cause bowel trou ble. It Is not safe to be governed by the results of a trial of one year on the farm, for frequently results are brought about by-conditions which we know nothing about. The most nutritious hay la made when grasses or clover are In bloom. A delay of one week In the cutting pe riod will make a big difference in the actual feeding value of the crop. A pair of Toulouse or African geese will cost as much as a sheep; but a flock raised from them will be worth much more than from ordinary breeds, as the Toulouse will show an average weight of forty to fifty pounds per pair when fully matured that is, when about three years old. Soap Growing on Trees. Visitors to Algeria describe an es tate, comprising about four square miles and situated near the city of Algiers. The owner, S. Bertrand, iff the president of the Algeria. Agricul tural society. Ko ralBes large quan tities of grapes, olives and oranges, but also has a plantation devoted to what are called soap trees. These bear berries, and every season thou sands of tons of them are gathered. The interior of a berry consists of a hard kernal and a yellowish sticky pulp which can be converted Into a kind of soap. The product seems to be destined to be of great service to the .cloth and linen manufacturers and above all for domestic purposes, as it can be used. to clean linen and silken fabrics and colored embroideries. The colors are In this way renovet-id, while the use of ordinary soap makes them run together. Money In New York. "This suite Is 146,000," said- the hotel manager to the Wall Street mag nate.

That there Is nothing to prevent giant financial or speculative- interests from swooping down on great trust funds such as the Sage and Rocke feller foundations, and diverting them from their original purpose to be used "as a determining influence In financial operations," Is the warning note sound ed by Franklin II. Glddlngs, professor of sociology at Columbia university, in aa article in "Van Norden Mag azine," entitled "The Danger in Char itable Trusts." "Designing business interests," de clares Prof. Glddlngs, "will Inevitably work every possible scheme to obtain such representation in the control of trust funds as will enable them 'to swing' what they are pleased to call 'the business end' of these huge ethlco financial creatures." Prof. Glddlngs points out that the creation of millions of dollars In per petuity Is diametrically opposed to the principle set down in the constitution forbidding the tying up of estates be yond a generation. . The Insurance Investigation disclosed, he states, "the enormous power that any great surplus or accumulation ol capital can be made to wield In the investment market." After calling attention to the fact that the same men are usually to be found eeivtng as trustees of charitable and educational trust funds. Prof. Gld dings says: Those who know the ways of the bus iness world are well aware of the rare opportunity which the chieftains of high finance too often find In a board of trustees made up of fine old gentle men selected for their probity, but overtiustful and not disposed to take too active an Interest In 'the concerns which they are supposed to watch. Even In the case of the Sage gift, Prof. Glddlngs declares, where the trus tees have been given the widest possi ble latitude in the distribution of the $10,000,000 she has Bet aside for char ity, "It is obviouB that enormous ac cumulations of property may be piled up, the ultimate actual control of which may pass Into the hands of men whose attitude toward the state, the social welfare and unnumbered private inter ests, righteous or Iniquitous, no human being can foresee." He pointed out that 11 would be quite possible to .use the Sage fund for the advancement of either anarchy or socialism, or of protection or free trade, although he admits that it is Im probable that such uses would ever be made of the money. As an illustration of his contention Prof. Giddings gives this Instance: Without any actual conversion, but merely in dictating terms to bankers or otherwise, large funds can always be used as a determining influence in financial operations, as was shown ; hen in 1903 a syndicate subscrlpttoq of $50,000,000, no part of which wai ever paid in or used, kept down the call money rate In Wall street to C percent. Such funds can be used also to deter mine an enormous patronage in a large number of employments. And all this cadi be accomplished without any conscious complicity In wrongdoing by the legally responsible trustees. For like reasons' the interests that actually do control the vaster funds will in general wield their power In a way to resist any extension, even the taost reasonable, of public control over corporate or other privileged activity, Whatever "the existing social order" may happen to be, the power of these vast accumulations will .vmost Inevit ably be uced to maintain it against any kini" of change beneficial change no less than destructive. Forgot His Own Name. Because he became confused and forgot his name, Milton Whitney Watkins of Baltimore, who went to Frederick, Md., and was ' married, was obliged to make a return, trip to correct his name on the marriage li cense book at the courthouse. Young Watkins made a hurried visit to the clerk's office for a marriage license, giving his name, and- signing it as Milton Whitney." With twenty mn utes to be married and catch the evening train for home, he called on the pastor of the Evangelical Re formed church, where the ceremony was performed. After arriving home the bride discovered that the name on that part of the license retained by her' was minus her husband's last name, and his attention was called to the mistake. He communicated with the pastor, and the latter went to the courthouse and found that the young man had made the mistake in his own handwriting. Mr. Watkins returned to Frederick, made affidavit to his correct name, and the error was corrected. The Problem In Russia. All friends of Individual liberty, of the rights of men to their lives, their liberties and the rewards of their toll, must wish to the Russian Duma good fortune the good fortune that attends the clear thinking and self restraint that are inspired by patri otism. And yet there is doubt The Duma Is not yet under the control of the others. The Revolutionist mem bers favor political assassination be cause , they think i that, all that has been gained thus far has been by as sassination. The Constitutional Dem ocrats desire Immediately a constitu tional monarchy, but not yet a par liamentary government The Reac tionaries think that they would ben efit by the triumph of the Radicals and the consequent dissolution of the Duma. The problem will work out cne way or the other; in the mean time, no party yet dares to take a positive step. Harper's Weekly.
